In this paper, when a H-polarized plane wave is incident on the grating consisting of uniform resistive strips, electromagnetic scattering is analyzed using the moment of methods (MoM). The current density of each resistive strip on a grounded dielectric plane is fixed by zero at both edges. To satisfy the condition at both ends of each resistive strip, the induced surface current density is expanded in a series of cosine and sine functions. The scattered electromagnetic fields are expanded in a series of floquet mode functions. The boundary conditions are applied to obtain the unknown current coefficients. According to the variation of the involving parameters such as strip width and spacing and angle of the incident field, numerical simulations are performed by applying the Fourier-Galerkin moment method. The numerical results of the normalized reflected power for resistive strips case for zero and several resistivities are obtained.

Tactile sensation is one of the most important sensory functions along with the auditory sensation for the visually impaired since it replaces the visual one of the persons with sight. In this paper, we present a tactile display device as a dynamic Braille display that is the unique tool f3r exchanging information among them. The tactile cell of the Braille display proposed is based on the dielectric elastomer, which is one of the electroactive polymers. It has advantageous features over the existing ones with respect to intrinsic softness, ease of fabrication, cost effectiveness and miniaturization. We introduce a new idea for actuation as well as additional considerations such as the driving circuit that makes it possible to drive multiple tactile cells in a high speed. Also, we describe the actuating mechanism of the Braille pin in details capable of realizing the enhanced spatial density of the tactile cells. Finally, results of psychophysical experiments are given to evaluate its effectiveness.

0.1~5.0 at% CuO doped ZnO specimens were fabricated by a commercial ceramic process and sintered at 900~$1200^{\circ}C$ for 3h in air. The relative densities were over 97% for all samples and average grain size increased with CuO doping. The defect trap levels i.e. ionization energies of defects were increased linearly with CuO contents as 0.2 eV to 0.7 eV by using admittance spectroscopy and dielectric functions. The apparent activation energies of grain boundaries were varied but in the range of 0.96~1.1 eV. Dielectric constant were increased with CuO contents and sintering temperatures.

Piezoelectric and dielectric properties as functions of x and y mole ratio in yPb(ZrxTil-x)O$_3$(1-y)Pb(Mn$\_$1/3/Nb/2/3/)O$_3$, ceramics, PZT-PMN, are investigated for large displacement piezoelectric devices. From the experimental results, when y is 0.95 and x is 0.505, the piezoelectric and dielectric properties are maximum, that is, electromechanical coupling coefficient(kp), piezoelectric strain constant(d$\_$33/), permittivity($\varepsilon$$\_$33/$\^$T//$\varepsilon$$\_$0/), and Curie temperature are 58 %, 272 pC/N, 1520 and about 350$^{\circ}C$, respectively. Also, when y is 0.90 and x is 0.50, their properties are 56 %, 242 pC/N, 1220, and 290$^{\circ}C$, respectively. As MgO dopant is added from 0 wt% to 1 wt%, kp increases to 63 % and Qm decreases to 500 at the MgO dopant of 0.1 wt%, and then kp decreases to 57 % as MgO is added.

The effects of CeO2 on the properties of cordierite-based glass-ceramics and its applicability to low firing temperature substrate were examined. Glass-ceramics were prepared by sintering the glass powder compacts at 900~100$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. Density, bending strength, dielectric constant and thermal expansion coefficient of the glass-ceramics were measured as functions of CeO2 contents and sintering temperatures. By adding CeO2, dense glass-ceramics were obtained below 100$0^{\circ}C$. dielectric constant and bending strength were more dependent on the porosity of glass-ceramics containing 5 wt% CeO2, sintered at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 h, were as follows; relative density is 95.3%, bending strength is 178$\pm$11 MPa, dielectric constant is 4.98$\pm$0.20 (at 1 MHz) and thermal expansion coefficient is 33.7$\times$10-7/$^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the glass-ceramics containing 5 wt% CeO2 appeared to be suitable for low firing temperature substrate of electronic devices.

The previous RST postulates that the scattering field, within each modal partial wave, comprise of the resonance and the background components. The new RST is recently developed by the product expansion of the scattering functions in the field of acoustics. The new formulation suggests that the scattering coefficients consist of resonance, non-resonance, and their interactional portions. In the scattering problems of acoustic waves, the moduli and phase of the resonance coefficient are obtained correctly by the new RST. In our recent works the new RST was successfully applied to the scattering problem of electromagnetic waves for coated conducting cylinder and sphere. In this paper, the new RST is extended to the 2-dimensional scattering problem of electromagnetic waves for a homogeneous dielectric cylinder, and the numerical results are compared with the previous RST.

An asymptotic solution of electro-magnetic waves diffracted by a dielectric wedge of the angle larger than $180^{\circ}$ is obtained in case of the incidence of a E-polarized plane wave. Based on the dual integral equation in the spectral domain, physical optics approximation is supplemented by correction currents distributed along the interfaces. Those currents are expanded in a series of Bessel functions, known as Neumann's expansion of which fractional order is chosen to satisfy the static edge condition as the limiting value of dynamic case. Numerical results of edge diffraction patterns and field patterns are presented for some typical cases.

Scattering of TE waves by a periodic conducting surface with dielectric cover is considered. A method for the aalysis of scattering from periodic structures based on the numerical solution of the integral equations is further developed. Using periodicity (Floquet's theorem), the range of the integral equations is reduced to a single period where the kernels are the Green's functions for periodic arrays. The numerical solution of the intergral equations is obtained using the method of moments. From numerical results for the reflected power the effects of surface profile shape, period-to-depth ratio, and cover permittivity on the scattering behaviors are examined.

In this paper, we analyze the transient electromagnetic response from three-dimensional dielectric bodies using a time-domain PMCHW (Poggio, Miller, Chang, Harrington, Wu) formulation. The time-domain unknown coefficients of the equivalent currents are approximated by a set of orthonormal basis functions that are derived from the Laguerre polynomials. Numerical results computed by the proposed method are presented.

In this paper, we present a five-DOF actuator based on dielectric elastomer. The actuator is designed for generating five DOFs motions to drive a micro camera steering module and provides all the functions for controlling CCD array such as focusing, pan and tilting. Basic modeling of the actuator is performed, and simulation works and experimental verifications are conducted, too. The camera steering module includes most parts necessary for driving the actuator such as a micro-controller and DC-DC converter, etc. It can be operated with a personal computer using only communication lines without external power supply. A prototype is developed and its performance is experimentally proved. $\textbullet$ artificial muscle, EAP, actuator.
